AN = I haven't been updating because I'm enjoying the last few days of summer. But I've been writing more fanfiction though in that time. So, my actual author's note: What has happened? I feel that I make too many happy stories but this one is completely the opposite of happy. So, please enjoy! (Or maybe not in this case.)

Warning: Sad Story Ahead!

Worrying While Waiting

"No! No! No! This can't be happening..." Melanie yelled as she looked down at her twin led on the white bed.

"Don't worry. I'm sure your sister will be fine." The nurse replied.

"Do you know when we will know for sure she is okay?"

"Unfortunately not. But it was only a small accident..."

"Alright. I need to try call her friend again."

"Okay... Is there an adult you can call, her mother, father, guardian?"

"Well..." She paused. Her mum was dating a guy in Vegas last time she heard from her. And god knows where her dad was. Spencer was the only adult she knew that her twin liked and respected. "There's Spencer... He's like her big brother."

"Okay. You get hold of your friend and I'm just gonna go make a quick call to the doctor for some results."

"Thanks." She pulled her pearphone out her pocket and watched as the nurse left the room. "Carly, Carly, Carly..." She said, scrolling through her contacts.

Like the time she tried before and the time before and the time before, no answer. She couldn't be bothered leaving a voice mail because Carls would freak when she had about ten voice mails from Melanie.

"Freddie!" She yelled, quickly getting his number up. Again, she rang him but no response!

"What kind of a boyfriend is he?" She said aloud to herself. Her eyes felt water touching them. The room was silent. Nothing made a sound. The girl just looked back down at her sister, but still no movement or noise.

"She's gone... I just know it." Mels whispered, "I know I haven't been the best sister and neither have you but we still love and care for eachother. Remember the time you tried to convince me I was adopted? That didn't work because you realised you needed me. Or the time you tried to mail me to England? It could have worked, maybe more stamps next time, and maybe you shouldn't have come back for me. When our dad left... I know it was hard. But we had eachother. Or the time when I started that boarding school? I cried every night, I needed you. I missed you. I cared for you. I loved you. I still love you. Please be okay!"

She carefully put her head on her sister's stomach and cried into the bed sheets. Time was ticking and obviously no one was coming to see if she was okay! No one would even answer their phone!

Then a vage buzzing noise echoed around the room... It was Freddie!

"Hello?" Mels said, clearing her throat.

"Hi Melanie. You oka-"

"No! No, I'm not. Neither is your girlfriend!"

"What? Is she okay?"

"She is lying in a hospital bed, what do you think?" She replied sarcastically but she knew it was no laughing matter.

"Calm down, Mels. I will be there soon. Seattle Medical Center, right?"

"Yeah, room 367. Hurry!" She quickly hung up the phone and led her head on her sister again. She could feel a slight movement. Her sister's breathing. Her stomach movement from her inhaling and exhaling.

"Sis?" Mels whispered.

She got no reply so she fully sat up and entwined her hand with her twin's hand.

Again, she felt a movement. The movement of her sister softly squeezing her hand. But suddenly, it stopped. Her stomach stopped moving and her hand just dropped back down onto the bed.

"Don't leave me..."

The door swung open.

"Freddie! That didn't take you long." She stated, raising an eyebrow at him.

"No... I guess it didn't." He walked over to the bed and ran his fingers through his girlfriend's hair. "Still no news?"

"Still waiting... I'm glad your here."

"Really?"

"I can't handle seeing my sister in a hospital bed!" She replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You think I can handle seeing the girl I love in a hospital bed? Because I can't." A stray tear swiftly ran down his cheek, never to be mentioned again. "I don't have the right to cry about it though. As you said, she's your family..."

"And she loves you..." Mels mentioned.

"Eh. Sometimes I think we need to have time alone. I will never think that again! I was just hanging out with Gibby at the Groovy Smoothie for about two hours then I get a call saying my girlfriend is in hospital. Scary, right?"

"Sorry to interrupt your day."

"It wasn't your fault."

"We just have to remember her for who she was and hopefully who she still is..."

"You're right." He stopped and looked at Melanie, "We both love her. She will always be here, even if she isn't actually with us. No matter what happens, Sam's love for us is eternal and so is our love for Sam."

"My sister is right. You sure do give good motivational speeches..."

"Well, what can I say?" He chuckled, but the happiness quieted down as soon as the two looked down at Sam still led in that hospital bed, still in pain and worstly still leaving them unsure if she was going to make it...

...

Still waiting. How much terror could one piece of information cause?

The twin still led in the bed, no noise or movement, nothing had really changed there then. The dork pacing up and down the room nervously. The sister sitting down on a chair, fiddling with her fingers, anything to take her mind off what was going on.

"Do you think she will be okay?" Melanie hesitated, looking at the boy who was still pacing uncontrollably.

"I don't know. All we can do is hope for the best." He replied.

It felt like days of waiting, but in reality it had only been about an hour since Freddie had arrived. One thing that terrified Mels was that she was there when the accident happened. She kept thinking if she had done something it wouldn't have happened. Samantha was unfortunately just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Maybe something could've been done though. If Sam didn't cross the road at that moment... Well, it was too late now anyway. Nothing could change what happened.

"What exactly happened again, Mels?" Freddie questioned for like the tenth time.

After she explained again, they both shed a few tears. Then Freddie wrapped his arms around Melanie and gave her a hug. She accepted his embrace and hugged him a little tighter.

"You are so similar to your sister." Freddie stated.

"No one has ever said that before you know."

"You both hug the same."

"Yeah, that's what Carly says."

"It's true."

The two broke the hug and Freddie looked Mels right in the eye.

"It is all gonna be okay, you know, Melanie."

"I hope so." Was her simple response.

Their eyes caught attention back to the girl lying in the hospital bed. It had been a while now but still no movement, not even a little blanket move or a nudge. Nothing. Everything was still and quiet.

"I love you, Sam." He whispered.

"We always have loved you, Sam, and we always will..." Melanie whispered quietly to her twin.

...

Hours passed and the two had left the room for a moment. The blanket twitched and the bed shook slightly. A quiet voice echoed around the room...

"I-I love you both. Always r-remember that."
